Apple plans to release iOS 7.1 in March

Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac reports that according to “reliable sources,” Apple plans to release iOS 7.1 in March.

It was initially reported that Apple will release the next major update for iOS 7 in March. But after the release of iOS 7.1 beta 5, it was speculated that Apple may release it in February.

Gurman has an excellent track record when it comes to Apple related rumors. He also notes that iOS 7.1 won’t include any hidden or secret features, and will primarily focus on UI tweaks and bug fixes.

He also speculates that Apple could showcase some of iOS 7.1 features at a media event in March, where it could unveil the next generation Apple TV. According to rumors, the next generation Apple TV come with integrated Airport Express and TV-Tuner. It could also come with a “revamped OS” that’ll be able to run its own apps and games rather than relying on iPhones and iPads via AirPlay.

Here’s the new features and improvements that we have discovered so far in the five beta versions:

• iOS 7.1 beta 1
• iOS 7.1 beta 2
• iOS 7.1 beta 3
• iOS 7.1 beta 4
• iOS 7.1 beta 5

Apple has also patched exploits  in iOS 7.1 which will break the evasi0n7 jailbreak.
